D r. B r a s e. “Untersuchungen über den Einfluss der
Verschuldung ländlicher Besitztümer auf deren Bewirt-

A study was made of landed estates (17) and peasant
farms (34) “in one district of the Liegnitz Administrative
Area” (Lower Silesia).
The author gives a list of all these estates, but without any
summing up. 17 landowners, each with 75-924 ha (9 with
200-500 ha; 1 has under 100 ha, namely 75; 1 with 127 ha;
1 with 924; 1 with 819). For each estate he gives only the
number of ha (and categories of land), quantity of livestock,
assessed value and debt (“according to an 1896 study”).
Two of the 17 have no debt at all (204 and 333 ha); two
with over 100% of the value (105 and 104%); 1—90-100%;
3—80-90%; 
2—70-80%; 
2—60-70%;
